Other than the manufactures claims being exceeded on a fair few occasions - not much.

I see that happens with international results too...e.g. Autobild recorded 0-100km/h in 3.9 seconds for RS3 while Spanish Autopista got 0-100km/h in 4.0 seconds. Manufactures claims = 4.3seconds.

Mind posting some links to the above - when I search I realise my German and Spanish is not so good.

So rounded up (4.6); it hits the old AMG A45 claimed times?

Its faster than old A45 AMG tested at Gerotek...although tests were done at different times by the same driver. At sea level, new AMG A45 will be quicker. RS3 seems to deal better with altitude than A45.

New RS3

0-100 km/h: 4.57 Seconds
¼ Mile: 12.95 Seconds @ 172.85 km/h
1 Km: 23.77 Seconds @ 220.14 km/h

Old RS3

0-100 km/h: 4.75 seconds
¼ Mile: 13.17 seconds @ 168.64 km/h
1 Km: 24.21 seconds @ 216.54 km/h

Old A45 AMG

0-100 km/h: 4.99 Seconds
¼ Mile: 13.30 Seconds @ 170.00 km/h
1 Km: 24.30 Seconds @ 215.66 km/h

I think a 0-100km/h 1 sec wagon will sell well hey....

If that was remotely possible of course.

Very good looking car but I've never liked the Sportback, it looks like a small station wagon. The coupe has always been my favourite.

This car will compete the BMW M2, I would take the M2 over this.

Which is exactly what it's trying to look like.
